Hardware Add-on Ideas

  • USB Siren Light - activated by software
  • USB Motion Detector

Alarm Problems

  • Occasional cross-camera talk or flash to blue screen (which is the result of cross camera talk to an inactive camera) triggers 100% motion and sets off the alarm.

Recommendations for Improved Motion Detection

  • Use a motion sensor security flood light - the activated light typically triggers near or 100% motion on the camera, and is far more reliable than trying to fine tune motion detection that will pick up an intruder versus background noise, and headlight beams reflecting from the outside.
